Treffle Convincingly Wins Debut Match

In the first match with Raley Treffle as FC Whitehorse manager, the Freezers had a phenomenal match defeating The Real Workers FC 6-0 on the road. Goals from Marthaldo (8'), Leonard Nunez (9'), and Kaidan Lemoine (11') gave Whitehorse a 3-0 lead in 11 minutes, which they would hold until half-time. Virgilio Rentería, Virgilio Rivas, and Josemisco all added goals in the second half, while Rubinho made 6 saves to get the clean sheet. 

Speaking at the post-match press conference, the new manager was very pleased with his team's effort in the match. "I can't exactly take the credit for myself, having only been here a week" joked Treffle, getting a laugh from the press room. "But, it does feel good for us to get that first win. I know that these guys have been working hard all season, and a big win like this can really serve to make it all feel worth it. Not every game is going to go this well and feel this good, but the key is to make it so that we're more consistently in the win column. That's the challenge that will get us to the end of the year."

Captain Johan Nix echoed his manager's optimism. "Today really felt like us playing as strongly as I know we are capable of playing" said Nix. "It has been a difficult year because it does feel like we are spinning our wheels a bit this year. But I am really happy about this one. Great win for all of us."

The Freezers will hope to keep the success going as they host FCW Lions at Service Stadium.
